Price per unit and price per meter

Hi,

I need to have price per unit on some of my products and price per unit on others. I cannot find anywhere to set it on the individual products, only for the entire shop. Can I change this?

Thanks

Per unit and per meter of course...

Hi,

Not easily. If can edit the file listing_price of the view product via the menu Display->Views in order to add a condition on the display of the price so that you could change the text:
echo JText::_('PER_UNIT');

You could for example add a custom product field (available in the commercial versions via the menu Display->Custom fields) radio button to select which type of text to display. Suppose that you call that custom field "meter", you could use the code:
if($this->row->meter){
echo ' per meter';
}else{
echo JText::_('PER_UNIT');
}

Hi Nicolas

I've been trying to work this out also. Could you please elaborate on the above - ie where does the above code actually go? I am very new to PHP and joomla in general. I have Hikashop Essential so should be able to do this, just not sure about the code.

Thanks
Ben

Hi,

I explained it all in my message.
You need to edit the file listing_price of the view product via the menu Display->Views.
Then, replace the code:
echo JText::_('PER_UNIT');

by:
if($this->row->meter){
echo ' per meter';
}else{
echo JText::_('PER_UNIT');
}
